• Historic Design Award—for a new building in the downtown area that complements the original historic buildings or enhances the Downtown Historic District area.
• Historic Commercial Building Award—for a building at least 50 years old in the downtown Historic District or on an Historic Site that restores, retains or preserves the building’s historical, cultural or architectural values.
• Historic House Award—for a home that is at least 50 years old that is an outstanding example of restoration and renovation. Exterior only.
• Certificate of Commendation—for residential, commercial or “other.” This could be for new construction, restoration, renovation, additions, landscaping, painting or significant improvement.
Nominations are due March 31, and can be sent by email to Gi***********@ci**********.org, phone at 408.846.0446, or by mail to Gilroy Museum, 195 Fifth St., Gilroy, CA 95020.Those who can help take photos of these buildings are asked to contact Dave Matuszak at dm********@ao*.com or Connie Rogers at jr*****@ga****.com.
